The uncertainty over the fate of the leader of one of Africa's biggest economies, who appears politically damaged beyond fix, stirred speculation that Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, Zuma's expected successor, had been negotiating a deal with the president in exchange for his resignation.

However, he would then be expected to face a confidence vote in parliament.

The ANC caucus has been instructed to put in motion "a parliamentary process", Mashatile told journalists.

The stalemate has plunged South Africa - Africa's most developed economy - into uncertainty over who is running the country, with a series of public events cancelled last week including the annual State of the Nation address to parliament. "In its wisdom, the NEC (National Executive Committee) decided... to recall its deployee Jacob Zuma", Magashule told reporters. Zuma was implicated in at least one of the corruption convictions stemming from that deal and was forced out of his role as deputy president at the time.

Both Mr Zuma and the Guptas deny the allegations.

Zuma's second and final term was due to end around mid-2019. South Africa's top court has ruled that he violated the constitution following an investigation of multi-million-dollar upgrades to his private home using state money.

"It's likely, depending on the availability of Chief Justice, we can probably elect a new President".
